Amyra's POV
 Did I do the right thing getting back with Jacob before he divorced his wife???? That was the one million dollar question that had been ringing in my mind since forever...

By 8 o'clock I was ready just waiting for Jacob's driver to take me to the airport...

Jacob had travelled to France two days earlier and I was supposed to join him there today..

I was excited that we were going to spend some time alone and have fun but couldn't stop thinking about Cindy...

How did she handle the divorce news???Was she okay??? Did she have the slightest idea Jacob was leaving her for me???

Poor woman she must be so devastated...

I was lost in thoughts when my phone began buzzing pulling me back to reality... It was a group video call from my girls...

"Hello my dears????" I beamed  after joining the video call.

"Are you ready for your vacation with Mr mysterious man????" Vivian teased...

"Yeah . I am just waiting for his driver to pick me up.."

"That's amazing...Have lots of fun in France and don't forget to call us when you land...."Tamara retorted...

" I promise I will..."

Since we began talking, Eve has just been looking at us in disinterested. It was like she had been forced into the group call...

"Eve aren't you going to tell me something????"I asked softly...

"It's not like you are dying Amyra

. You are just going to France...." She replied harshly...

This unlike Eve to talk to me like that..What has gotten into her???

"I know Eve but a simple 'have a safe trip would do'...." I stayed with emphasis...

"Safe journey Amyra...Later girls, unlike you people I am a very busy person...." And she left the video call...

"What's up with her???" I asked.

"I don't know and the worst part is yesterday she was involved in a accident and didn't see it fit to tell us. I had to find out about it from Nick this morning...." Tamara answered with a tone full of concern.

"And why are we hearing about this now???" I thundered.

I can't believe Eve didn't see it fit to tell us she was involved in accident...

"Maybe she is just going through a lot,is she okay????...." Vivian countered.

"Yeah but nothing is making sense Viv..Yesterday she fired her chef and house managers, dumped Nick and left the house. She is currently in a hotel room...." Tamara stuttered...

"Is she taking her medicines???Because if she isn't, that's a recipe for disaster...." Vivian replied.

"Guys please can you check up on her later and update me on what's going on with her????" I requested...

"Okay, we will!!!!" Tamara assured.

"Thank you girls. I have to go, I guess my ride is here. I love you all..." I blew a kiss to them and left the video call too...

"I am coming!!!!!" I shouted, hoping the person on the other side of the door would stop ringing the bell so vigorously...

"Good morning Rob????" I smiled at Jacob's driver after opening the door...

"We need to get moving, Mrs Mimo wants me to drive her to the mall in an hour's time...." Rob firmly said which sort of left me speechless.

I thought he always liked me or did he always put an act because Jacob was around and now that he is not here, he can peel the mask off...

"Where are your bags or you are not carrying anything???" Flames of anger were surrounding him...

"Let me get them...." I said in a almost a whisper.

I took my suitcase and handbag from my bedroom and locked the door on my way out...

"I put these in the car...." He grabbed them from me in a rough manner and walked away before I could say anything.

This is gonna be a long awkward drive...

After I slipped into the back seat, Rob turned back and looked straight into my eyes...

"How do you sleep at night????"

"Excuse me!!!!" I exclaimed angrily at him...

"You are a selfish bitch. Are you so desperate that you just had to date a married man??" His face was straight, icy and emotionless...

"Every woman has a type and I am into married man.. So will you drive me to the airport or not????" I smiled trying to hide the hurt in my voice...

Rob just shook his head disgustingly and powered up the engine...

The ache in my chest was unbearable as my stomach  rolled in guilt...

It didn't matter if Jacob was leaving his wife, I was still the mistress for the time been. A home wrecker...

Is all this really worth it???Was I ready to jeopardize my reputation because of love???

For the first time , reality hit me worse than before...Hearing someone else call me a home wrecker hurt more than I could ever imagine..

"We are here!!!!" Rob said dryly...

I got out of the car, carried my handbag and suitcase out of the trunk and began walking before he could say more hurtful words...

I stormed into the ladies room and locked myself in one of the washrooms...

I couldn't hold back my tears anymore..My love for Jacob was like venom penetrating my blood...

After a while, I walked out of the washroom,opened the faucet,washed my face and blew my nose...

"Are you okay????" A beautiful girl beside me asked...

I tried to respond but ended up choking on my own words.

"Who is he??" She arched a perfect eyebrow at me.
"What????" I exclaimed in surprise...

"Who is that asshole that's making you feel like shit about yourself????"

"I have a flight to catch. Nice to meet you...." I rinsed my face once more and walked out of the ladies room...

The flight to France was okay. I was just a little tired but I cant complain..

I expected Jacob to be the one to pick me from the airport only to be picked up with a Liam guy...

"Is it your first time in Paris????"

"Yeah..." 

"You will love it here Belle Fille..."

"Okay...." 

My face was stuck on the window but my mind was miles away...

"We are here Bella fille...."

"Thank you Liam!!!!" I strained a smile and got out of the car.
"Bienvenue!!!!"

When I walked into the elevator, there was this man who was angrily  typing on his phone. He was tall close to 6'2 and had beautiful thick arms. The way the  white v-shirt he was wearing clung to his body like a second skin, it left me wondering what perfect art was lying underneath it...

I wish he would just lift his face up just for a second so that I could be able to drink him in...

"Do you wanna touch me????" The minute the deep timbre of his voice touched my ears, my knees shook...

Who was this perfect work of art that the heavens have placed beside me???

I tried to respond but my brain seemed to be still in shock mode...

"Which floor????" He asked again..

"Room 502...." I replied in a trembling voice, biting my lip anxiously...

"Fifth floor it is....."

"I am Adam and you are???!" 

After bottling up enough courage, I lifted my face up to look at him...

Read " Bloody Fog " by the same author ( Fideh Mwangi )

. Baby Jesus in a manger, the nigga was handsome as hell...

I trie to look away but I was so fascinated with him that I couldn't...

Focus Amyra!!!!

"If you keep on looking at me like that, I might as well kiss you..." He chuckled, his hand still hanging in the air...

"Ooooh Sorry!!!!I am Amyra....." I replied in an unrecognized voice and shook his hand

"So you know I am in room 501...You can say hello sometime...."

"I will keep that in mind...."

The moment the elevator doors slid open, I felt legless...

"See you around Amyra!!!!" He winked and walked out, his movement shouting predatory...

I stood there frozen for a moment before following him out...

Amyra, you have a boyfriend!!!Thou shall not covet...Commandment number 10...

As I walked into the suite, it was  like walking into a more expensive and classy version of my apartment.

I dropped my suitcase on the floor and began sight seeing.

This place must be costing Jacob a fortune.

 On the bed, my name had been written below the heart with rose petals...

"Ooooh so romantic!!!!" I smiled like a little girl receiving a doll for the first time.

I reached for the small note in the middle of the heart and as I read it, my eyes got glossy with tears.

Welcome to Paris my love. I will be with you shortly. For the time being get comfortable and order anything you want...
I love you,Jacob...

"I love you too my love...." I whispered and kissed the note...

After settling in, I went into the spacious marble bathroom to have a warm shower...

"Hello love????" Jacob stepped in and wrapped his arms around my frame.

"Love finally you are here...."

"I am sorry I couldn't pick you from the airport, it has been a busy day..."

" It's okay....."
I wanted to ask him about the divorce and tell on Rob but I didn't want to ruin the intimate moment...

"How was your flight???" He spinned me around...

"Just a little tired...."

"I missed you!!!!" He leaned closer and crashed my lips with his.

As we kept kissing, it became more and more feverish. What started out as emotional became passionate.

It was like more of devouring each other than kissing...

Jacob made sure that every drop of my skin had been marked by his lips,his kisses,his tooth and hands...

I needed a distraction and Jacob knew how to give me one..He fucked the senses out of me in that bathroom...

"I know it has just been a few days but I couldn't wait to have sex with you...." Jacob beamed.

"I expected I couldn't wait to see you...."I wrapped my body in a fluffy bathrobe...

"Of course I couldn't wait to see  you!!!!"

"Whatever. So have you already filed for a divorce????"

"Can we just enjoy this moment and not talk about Cindy!!!!" He said irritatedly...

"It's just a simple question that requires a yes or no answer...."

"I can't do this right now!!!!" He stormed out of the bathroom but I wasn't ready to let this go..

I changed into a black tee shirt and sweatpants and sat beside him on the bed...

"Today your driver Rob had the audacity to ask me how I sleep at night????"

"Why????"

"Because I am so desperate to be sleeping with a married man..."

"Why do I have a feeling you want us to fight???" He twisted his lips and seemed disappointed...

"I won't be called a mistress Jacob. So are you leaving Cindy or not????"

"Don't make me regret having you here Amyra..."  His expression was filled with frustration as he stood from the bed.

"And don't make me get tempted to hop on the sexy guy next door...." The words slipped out of my mouth before I could swallow them...

"What did you just say????" He seemed to sound annoyed and concerned at the same time...

"I didn't mean....." He grabbed my arm roughly and rose me from the bed.
"I know what you meant Amyra...Don't you even think about cheating on me!!!!"

"I didn't...."
"Shut up!!!!If you ever say that to me again, you won't like it..." Anger emanated from his face..

Shock and horror slammed into me and I was fearing this man before me..

"Let me go Jacob Mimo!!!!" A sob racked through my body...

"I can't even imagine you with another man apart from me. You are only mine...." He tightened the grip on my arm...

"If you don't let me go right now, I will leave and never come back....."

"You were lying!!!!You love me so much!!!!"

"I was with an abusive man once and trust me I won't do the same mistake again. I won't feed on shit!!!" I raged...

"I am sorry love...." He pulled me into his arms and gave me a long,sensual, loving kiss...

"Sssssh!!!!!" He kissed me,"I am sorry love!!!"

"You man-handled me Jacob!!!!"

"The thought of you being with another man apart from me, angered me. But I will never do that again my love, you are my world..."

"Joseph always told me that too. If you are ever going to hit me, tell me now and I will leave...."

"I am not Joseph!!!!!" He replied between clenched teeth and kissed me once more...

"Let me beautifully make love to you Amyra!!!Let me show you how much you mean to me...." He moved my head to the side where he started ravishing my neck...

For once I was scared of him... I didn't recognize the man I was in love with...

"I need some fresh air!!!!" I pushed him back and stormed out of the suite....

Am I the only one freaking out about Jacob?????
